Re: tremolo: 4/4 time, 2 half notes, single-slash tremolo question

[William Rehwinkel]

Hey Kenneth,

I think you may want to write `\repeat tremolo 4` instead of 2, because 
that will signify four repeating eighth notes, which will result in the 
time of a half note...unless i am misunderstanding.

Thanks,
